Did you know that magnesium is responsible for the muscle relaxation element of our bodies? If there was no magnesium, our muscles would constantly be contracted. Magnesium is the teammate to calcium, they both do opposite things (calcium contracts the muscles) yet they work in perfect harmony with one another.

How do you know if you are deficient in magnesium?A magnesium deficiency may present itself in many ways. If you suffer from aches and pains, anxiety, headaches, restless leg syndrome, lack of energy or cramping you may be low on magnesium. If you apply magnesium to your skin to the location of your pain within minutes or even within seconds you’ll feel an improvement. If you feel no difference you may not be magnesium deficient. More people are deficient in magnesium than those that aren’t, so often people do notice an instant change from their very first application and continue use it on an ongoing basis to improve on their magnesium levels.

What about magnesium supplements? Oral magnesium supplements don’t do so well in the gut, about 90% of the magnesium is actually destroyed and if you take too much you’ll end up with a very sore tummy! One of the best things about using trans-dermal magnesium is that you really can’t have too much of it and it can be applied right to the source of where you need it most.

We love using magnesium to help with an amazing night’s sleep! Before going to bed soak in a bath filled with about 1-3 cups of magnesium flakes and a few drops of your favourite essential oils for at least 30 minutes. When you get out pat yourself dry and apply your choice of magnesium to the bottom of your feet and anywhere else you think you might need it. Make yourself a lovely cup of chamomile tea and have a wonderful night’s sleep!
